The image showcases the meticulous search conducted by the royal bodyguard within the vaults of the Houses of Parliament. The scene is filled with intriguing details that bring this historical moment to life. A group of English men, dressed in elaborate costumes and adorned with beards and mustaches, diligently scour every nook and cranny using lanterns to illuminate their path. Their purpose is clear - ensuring the safety and security of Parliament. The ambiance created by dim lighting adds an air of mystery as shadows dance along ancient stone walls.
